Are there job opportunities available during or after my studies abroad, or is it only for study purposes in UK?

Yes, you can work both during and after your studies in the UK, subject to visa conditions.

- During studies: You can work up to 20 hours per week during term time, and full-time during official vacation periods.
- After studies: Once you complete your course, you can work full-time until your student visa expires (the "wrap-up" period, typically 4 months for courses over 12 months).
- Post-study options: You may apply for the Graduate Route visa (post-study work visa, PSW), which allows you to work or look for work in the UK after graduation.

Visa rules are subject to change. If you need guidance on your options, please connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
